To a'ZZivhoni/it may concern;-

it Be"it known that I, CARL E. B zoWN, ,a'

V citizen of the United States, residing at Columbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Oil-Burner, of which the following is a specification. I e f j The device forming the subject matter of this application is an oil burner, andthe' whereby a quantity of oil, constituting a priming charge, may be deposited, in a priming tray, or on a mass ofabsorbent material. I

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the 7 utility of devices of that type'to which the invention appertains.

With the above and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope of what is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the invention shown can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In'the drawings I Figure 1 shows in top plan, adevice constructed in accordance with the invention; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section wherein parts remain in elevation; Fig. 3 is a cross section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2; and Fig. 4; is a cross section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2.

In carrying out the invention, there is provided a box-like casing, denoted generally by the numeral 1, the casing including a body 2, open at the lower end, and closed at its upper end by a removable top 3, held,

, in place by a flange 4 on the top 3, the

flange coacting with the body. Intermediate its ends, the top 3 is provided with a priming tray 5. adapted to receive absorbent material 6, which may be asbestos or ashes. The top 3'is supplied with openings 7 communicating with the interior of the body 2, the openings 7 being located at the ends of the priming tray 5. Hoods 8, pref erably of conical form, are mounted for sliding movement on the top 3 and coeperates with the openings 7. The side walls of the hoods 8 are supplied with openings 9. Delivery members 10, which maybe of trough-shape, project toward each other,

of the hoods. The numeral Specification or Letters Patent; 1 t t d June 29, 192a 919. s m ,No. 315,713.

delivery members being located externally p 11 marksan arch support securedto the top 3 about midway between the ends thereof. The support 11 is adapted generator 14:, includinga lower-arm 15 passprovided with combustion orifices 16 located 7 within the hoods S. Flame spreaders17 are 'supporte'd on the upper arm 12 of the generator 14 and are located above the hoods 8.

In practical operation, when the parts are arranged vas shown in Fig. 2, the air draws upwardly through the casing 1, through the openings 7 and through the hoods 8. The oil traverses the arm 12 0f the generator 141 and. enters the arm 15 thereof, the fuel, in the form of a gas, burning at the combustion orifices 16, a mixture of gas and air being produced within the hoods, The structure is adapted to be placed in a' cook stove, if desired, and the fromiithe' adjacent sides or the hoods a e f V to uphold the upper arm 12 of a U-shaped operation above outlined is common and thoroughly understood in the art.

Let it be supposed that, at the starting of the operation, it is desired to deposit a priming charge onthe absorbent material 6 inthe tray 5, so as to heat up the generator ltinitially. Then, the hoods 8 are slid outwardly, in opposite directions, until the combustion orifices 16' discharge on thede livery members 10, the oil flowing from the delivery members, upon the absorbent material 6, or into thetray 5. In this way, a priming charge may. be deposited in the tray, or on the absorbent material, the priming charge being ignited for the purpose of may be slid inwardly, toward each other, into the positions shown in Fig. 2, the hoods abutting against the upstanding ends of the tray 5, and the combustion orifices 16 being disposed within the contour of the hoods 8 heating up the generator. The hoods 8 then laterally projecting discharge member, hood being slidable on the lower arm of the 7 generator, whereby one endof said disk charge member may be disposed below the combustion orifice whenthe other end on casing and embodying upper andlower,

arms, the lower arm being supplied with a ,combustion orifice; a hood having a laterally pro ect1ng discharge member, the easing having an opening cooperating with the hood, the hood being slidably mounted on the'casing, whereby one end of the, dischargemember may be disposed below the combustion orifice'when the other end of said'memberis disposed above the tray.

3, In a device of the class described, a

deposit a priming chargein thecasing including a top provided with means for receiving a primingcliarge, the, top being provided withzan opening; a U-shaped generator supported above the top of the,

casing and embodying upper and lower-r combustion orifice; a hood cooperating with I the opening and having alaterally project-' fing-dischaige member; and means for supi porting the hood slidably, whereby one ,end'

of the: dischargeginember may be'f'disp'osed arms, the lower arm being supplied with a; r

m V the combiistioii'forifice and the other;

end oftheidischarge member disposedabo-ve the means for receiving thepriming charge.

In testimony that I claim'the. foregoing I as my'oivn, I have hereto alfi'xed mysignature in the presence of two witnesses,
